I want to discuss what this election means for working families in Northwest Washington and across the country.

Costs continue to rise faster than paychecks. Health care, housing, groceries, child care, and gasoline all take up more of a family's budget than they did a few years ago. For many households in our region, these are not minor inconveniences. They determine whether someone can afford a doctor's visit, stay current on rent, or keep up with the basic cost of getting to work. This moment calls for a Congress willing to treat it as the urgent problem it is.

Election Day is just days away, and I want to make sure you have the information you need to make your voice heard.

Ten days remain until Election Day. That is not a lot of time, and I will not waste a single day of it. Right now, there are still undecided voters in Northwest Washington, people who have not looked at their ballots yet, and people who may not vote at all unless someone asks them to. Connecting with them is the work in front of us right now.
